Author: Henry van Dyke Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 269 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, Opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the gloom of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day. 2 All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain, Call us to rejoice in Thee. 3 Mortals, join the happy chorus Which the morning stars began; Love divine is reigning o’er us, Joining all in heaven's plan. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.

My Savior

Author: Henry M. Wharton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Jesus, Thou art ever near me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou art ever near me Blessèd Savior of my soul, And I hope to linger near Thee While the endless ages roll; Plunged in dark despair and sadness, Paths of sin and death I trod; Thou didst turn my grief to gladness, Taught me how to walk with God. 2 I have often grieved Thy Spirit, Put Thee to an open shame, Naught but wrath could hope to merit, Cast reproach upon Thy name; Down the lonely road I wandered, Of my doom was well aware; Every hope and project squandered, Hastening madly to despair. 3 Oh, how precious was the hour When Thy hand was laid on me, And by Thine almighty power, Broke my chains and set me free; Then my life was filled with glory, And my heart rejoiced in Thee; Now I love to tell the story How my blessèd Lord saved me. 4 Now no longer I am roaming In the wilderness of sin; As the days are going, coming, All is joy and peace within; Thou to me my strength hast given, And Thy grace so full and free, I am on my way to Heaven, Walking day by day with Thee Used With Tune: KARNATAKA Text Sources: Windows of Heaven (Baltimore: National Evangelization Society, 1898), alt.

Happy place! so near, so precious! May it find me there each day; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, I would look upon the past; For His love has been so gracious, It has won my heart at last. 2 Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Where can mortal be more blest? There I lay my sins and sorrows, And, when weary, find sweet rest; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, There I love to weep and pray; While I from His fullness gather Grace and comfort every day. 3 Bless me, O my Savior, bless me, As *I sit low at Thy feet; [*I’m waiting] Oh, look down in love upon me, Let me see Thy face so sweet; Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus, Keep me holy as He is; May I prove I’ve been with Jesus, Who is all my righteousness.

Jesu, Show Us Thy Salvation

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Jesu, show us Thy salvation, In Thy strength we strive with Thee, By Thy mystic incarnation, By Thy pure nativity; Save us Thou, our New-Creator, Into all our souls impart, Thy divine, unsinning nature, Form Thyself within our heart. 2. By Thy first blood-shedding heal us; Cut us off from every sin, By Thy circumcision seal us, Write Thy law of love within; By Thy Spirit circumcise us, Kindle in our hearts a flame; By Thy baptism baptize us Into Thy all glorious name. 3. By Thy fasting and temptation Mortify our vain desires, Take away what sense, or passion, Appetite, or flesh requires: Arm us with Thy self denial, Every tempted soul defend, Save us in the fiery trial, Make us faithful to the end. 4. By Thy sorer sufferings save us, Save us when conformed to Thee, By Thy miseries receive us, By Thy painful agony; When beneath Thy frown we languish, When we feel Thine anger’s weight, Save us by Thine unknown anguish, Save us by Thy bloody sweat. 5. By that highest point of passion, By Thy sufferings on the tree, Save us from the indignation Due to all mankind, and me; Hanging, bleeding, panting, dying, Gasping out Thy latest breath, By Thy precious death’s applying Save us from eternal death. 6. From the world of care release us, By Thy decent burial save, Crucified with Thee, O Jesus, Hide us in Thy quiet grave: By Thy power divinely glorious, By Thy resurrection’s power Raise us up, o’er sin victorious, Raise us up to fall no more. 7. By the pomp of Thine ascending, Live we here to Heaven restored, Live in pleasures never ending, Share the portion of our Lord: Let us have our conversation With the blessed spirits above, Saved with all Thy great salvation, Perfectly renewed in love. 8. Glorious Head, triumphant Savior, High enthroned above all height, We have now through Thee found favor, Righteous in Thy Father’s sight: Hears He not Thy prayer unceasing? Can He turn away Thy face: Send us down the purchased blessing, Fulness of the Gospel-Grace. 9. By the coming of Thy Spirit, As a mighty rushing wind, Save us into all Thy merit, Into all Thy sinless mind; Let the perfect gift be given, Let Thy will in us be seen, Done on earth as ’tis in Heaven, Lord, Thy spirit cries Amen!
